University based pre-placement seminars will augment students' exploration of their professional learning and post-placement sessions will be undertaken to reflect on the professional experience and assist in developing future learning goals. Professional Pairs teaching is a practice whereby PSTs form teaching partnerships and systematically inquire into their own and others¿ teaching practice to explore learning about teaching, through teaching. PSTs, following discussions with their Mentor Teacher (MT), negotiate teaching and learning tasks; provide each other with critical and meaningful feedback; share workloads and explore teaching through an inquiry lens.
